Luckily for him, Ruben Dias does not have to face the unrelenting threat of Erling Haaland when he steps onto the field for a competitive game.
That’s not to say he wouldn’t be able to cope against the Norwegian - after all he kept him off the scoresheet in the two Champions League knockout legs in the 2020/21 season when Manchester City beat Borussia Dortmund.
But given the goal-scoring form Haaland has been in this season, it’s always better not to face him. But then again, in truth, he does face him every week.
